I cannot help with gdb, but I can point out that you have two
 separate variables here. Decrement ing the local has no effect on
 the global value.

The preferred way is to return any values from the function that
 you want to use after it exits. 
def next(i):
     time.sleep(10)
     i = 1 - i
     return i

i = 1
while True:
    i =next(i)

Another possibility,  generally a bad idea,  is declaring i global
 in the function.
